34 Toys We All Had As Kids

I wish I could be a kid again. No worries, no deadlines, no cares in the world. You come home from school, have no commitments, so what do you do? Play with your toys of course! I had a lot of toys as a kid, most of which have been thrown out now, but the memories I still hold close to my heart. As a kid who grew up in the early 2000s, I didn't have the internet like it is today. I wasn't given a phone and told to entertain myself for hours on end. I was given toys that made me use my own imagination.

When I was contacted by Invaluable.com, an online marketplace that helps to connect people around the world with the items they love, got in touch he suggested that I should share with you some of my favourite, nostalgic items from my childhood. You guys know that I did a post a couple of months back, sharing 18 Things Kids From The Noughties Will Remember , However, I appreciate that not everyone who reads my blog grew up during that time. So I thought today, I would share will you 34 toys that we all probably had growing up as kids, no matter what decade we grew up in! I hope it makes you feel very nostalgic.

15. Crap craft kits- which were probably from Woolworth's and never worked
16. Mad science sets
17. Dolls world/ creepy dolls head
18. Cars mats- which was never used for its purpose
19. Secret diary device
20. Mod rock
21. Paint by numbers
22. Scratchy paint things- I didn't even realise they were still a thing
23. Hula hoops
24. Swingball
25. A scooter
26. A marble machine- which never got boring
27. Roller skates
28. Kerplunk
29. Cool cardz maker
30. Stickle bricks
31. Bop it
32. Duplo
33. A bike
34. Fishing game with magnets ( Where the fishing rods doubled up as swords)

What a Throwback! I used to love playing with my Bratz Dolls, Tamagotchi, Furby, Troll dolls the list is endless! My tamagotchi was my favourite though even though I always made my mum look after it instead haha

Well now they are all a blast from the past. Particularly for me, I had Kerplunk, I used to love that, that magnetic fishing game, barbies, fuzzy felt, lego, and I had an amazing puppet theatre. I used to have roller blades too x
